Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage

The non-fungible token market has begun twitching out of its torpor, defying numerous reports that it had been dead. Non-fungible tokens are clawing back to an upside trajectory after suffering an awful and brutal comedown in the past several months.

In the past ten months, the NFT market has been suffering massive losses. But, in recent weeks, NFTs have been getting some positive momentum. Memecoins are slightly calming down, and Ordinals and ERC-20 NFTs are now leading the NFT resurgence. Below we will unpack these newest trends in the crypto world in a language anyone can understand.

BRC-20 NFTs – A New Frontier In Bitcoin

BRC-20 is an experimental token standard that works on the Bitcoin network. It allows people to create unique assets called “inscriptions,” similar to NFTs. These BRC-20 tokens are interchangeable, representing digital goods, services, or even real-world items.

In simpler terms, BRC-20 is like a new rulebook being written for how tokens can operate on the Bitcoin network. This rulebook aims to make it easier for developers to create and manage tokens on Bitcoin, potentially expanding Bitcoin’s use beyond just being a store of value.

Bitcoin Ordinals – The Uprising NFT Trend

Bitcoin Ordinals are a way for satoshis (individual units of bitcoin) to be numbered, identified, and even inscribed with information, transforming them into non-fungible tokens. A satoshi, or sat, is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, named after Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

In the simpler context of NFTs and crypto, ordinal refers to a method of introducing an element of ranking or order. Each token minted under this standard can have a unique identifier or rank. A series of collectible cards, each with a unique number, is a perfect example. The lower the number of collectible cards, the higher their rarity and value.

Top NFT Headlines This Week

Peter Schiff Dives Into NFTs – His Twitter Account Hacked

Earlier this week, Peter Schiff, a well-known public figure in the world of finance and a vocal critic of crypto, made a surprise announcement about him joining the crypto space. Crypto critic Peter Schiff revealed plans to launch his NFT art collection based on Bitcoin. His NFT collection includes a physical painting, 50 prints, and 50 digital versions inscribed as Ordinal NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain.

In related developments, hackers breached Peter Schiff’s Twitter account a few days after joining the crypto space. The motive behind the hackers’ decision to target Peter Schiff’s Twitter account is more precise, considering he has been a long-term crypto-critic who turned into a crypto-believer. Thus, he poses some influence in the crypto world as hackers sought to exploit this newfound interest to promote a non-existent digital coin.

NFT EtherRock #80 Sells For $250K

Launched in 2017, EtherRocks is a non-fungible token collection featuring a limited edition of 100 Ethereum NFTs. Each EtherRock was designed with a unique number, determining its rarity and value. They were created as an experiment to explore the possibility of using blockchain technology to produce and distribute art.
